WHAT DEMOCRATS SAY.
To show the general sentiment
and feeling existing among the reg
ular caucus members.I give the fol-
lowing interviews published in the
Wheeling Register of Friday:
Speaker Rowan.-"My idea is
that We have gone into caucus, thir-
ty-seven of us, and asked those gen,
tlemen to CO operate with us. Aft.
er having made that proposition to
them, we went into cacus and made
our nomination, and [ for one, car
rying out the principles of true
Democracy, propose to stand by our
nominee"
John NJ. Hamilton, of Calhoun,
Chairman of the House Judiciary
Committee, said:-"I propose to
stand by the nominee of our eau
Gus till the caucus takes him down,
which, l think, will never be-"
j. ]. Woods, of Ohio, said:-"I
would not be willing TO go into
caucus on a limited number of
names dictated by persons who
have refused to act with the major
ity in the caucus"
w. N. Chancellor, of Wood, said:
t'These men whose names are sub
mitted by the minority, and who
have allowed their names to be
used daily in joint assembly when
they could have prevented il, have
put themselves out of the pale of
support of true Democrats. 1
would have been glad to have seen
any of the names submitted in the
proposition brought before the eau
Gus and their merits and claims for
the position freely presented, but
the Democratic party have met and
nominated their man, and in my
opinion there should be no turning
back. We should stand firmly by
him."
Senator Charles l.. Brown, of
Jackson:-''I am a Democrat and
shall abide by the decree of the
Democratic cacus. Whilst person
ally would like to support either
of the gentlemen named by the mi
nority, nevertheless, under the cir
cumstances, l cannot do so. As
some of these gentlemen allowed
their names to be used the morning
after the caucus they cannot consist
emily ask any support with good
grace"
J. S. Spencer, of Mason-"It has
been my intention since the caucus
nomination to fight it out on that
line until the end of the session."
Oliver Gorrell, of Pleasants-"I
had not heard of the proposition
until just now. | think we should
as Democrats stand by our nominee.
l am satisfied that Senator Camden
is the choice of the people repre-
sent. l went into caucus under
Democratic usages and voted for
the man l thought our people want
ed, and now that he has received
the nomination in the regular way
| am not willing to give him up at
the dictation of the minority"
Senator Somerville, of Brooke
In my judgment there is nothing
for the Democratic majority to do
but to stand by its caucus nominee
and decline to treat with any one
who does not come into the party
councils"
Senator J. w: McCreery, of Raj
eigh-"My view is as that as we
went into the Democratic caucus
according to the time houored Gus
tom of the party it is our duty to
support the nominee of the caucus
and not be dictated to by the mi
nority and he forced to yield to
their views"
George B. Crow, of Jackson-"I
have no doubt but the caucus Dem-
ocrats will give the proposition of
the anti caucus men respectful con-
sideration, but in my opinion the
taking up of any new man is sim
ply ont of the question:"
j. r. Brown-'Being Democrat
from the county of Jackson, and
feeling that L am expressing the
wishes of my people, l could not do
otherwise at present than support
Mr. Camden, the regular Democrat
&c caucus nominee"
These gentlemen express the
views and sentiment of every eau.
Gus Democrat, and any favorable
consideration of the proposition of
the minority thew oiajp, non,ot H.
